    Im working on a remake of a track and every time about 15 min in I start feeling really down and sad

    I like the song but I have to now take breaks every 20 mins or so Its in A minor but I have worked in this key many times its just this track Its really frigging strange..

    Its been 3 days and I want to get rid of it so I can move on to the next track...

    Its Voodoo I tell you, Voodoo

    I'm guessing you don't, or at least shouldn't, listen to the Blues genre. :)

    Something like that. :shalom:

    I must admit I was one or two times moved to tears during a vocal recording, but when I'm working on a song, my focus prevents me from being emotional affected.

    when a song has this emotional effect on me I just leave it , I become too afraid to work on it and ruin whatever I felt

    The question has been asked. "What is Music?". People say things like "Organized Sound". I say "The organized universal translation of Emotion". And here your proving that :wink:

    If the song doesn’t affect my mood in some way then the song sucks.

    If I wasn't affected by emotion I'd never be able to write a song, tell a story, paint a painting or throw a pot. When performing if I am not swallowed by emotion then the audience would never trust me to be honest with them again or for them to invest in their own emotion to live within the construct of the composition. Isn't that what it is to be an artist, to fear not the boundaries between our own continuosly changing moods and to use them as fodder to carry on the narrative in the context of our body of work and as well not to let any fear bind us in our freedom to express any of those complex moods? It's a self fueling fire of devotional self ego immolation...to me.
